Anyone planning to go to the Leeds conference? Also, I will be in York July 15-17. I would love to get together with fellow Ricardians.

How are you holding up? ... There wasn't really anything wrong with the question. Well-meaning people asked it. Good and caring people. But they were people who wanted to hear that the recently shattered weren't going to be in pieces for long. They wanted answers that would affirm what they needed to hearthat death, when it touched their own lives, would be survivable. Hearing the right answer allowed them to hold their breaths and run past or fly over that terrible black void. Excerpt From: MacRae, Molly. Spinning in Her Grave.

"what can we do better than gather our books around us? In them we see unfolded before us vast stores of knowledge, for our delight, it may be, or for inspiration." - Petrus Palus Vegerius, Master at Arms & Educator, c.1404.
Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one, a moment, in childhood, when it first occurred to you that you don't go on forever. It must have been shattering, stamped into one's memory. And yet I can't remember it. It never occurred to me at all." -Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.Sent from my iPad
